I remember back in my photography days how I hated post production and adding watermarks to my photos. So when Allen from AoaoPhoto Digital Studio wrote to me, asking me to checkout his software, I had to take a look.

Normally I do not entertain such requests, but I am glad I went for this one.

Aoao Watermark for Photo

Aoao Watermark for Photo is a handy piece of software that lets you batch watermark your photos with a text or image watermark of your choice. If you are a photographer or a blogger, this will come handy and safe a lot of frustration time.

The interface of Aoao watermark is very clean and intuitive. It is pretty straight forward to work with.

You start by loading up the photos you want to watermark.

Then you add a text bookmark and/or an image bookmark. Optionally you can add frames around your pictures, crop them all, resize them and rename them too.

Templates for adding Exif info. For e.g: </%CR*\> will add the Copyright info from your photo’s Exif data. Easily accessible in a single click.

Alignment buttons that help you position your watermark nicely.

This can convert the images to a different format. Batch converting RAW to JPEG anyone?

The Not So Good

Here are a couple of things that I thought could be improved.

More options to choose for adding Exif info would be sweet. Most photographers would like to add details like the Aperture, Exposure Time, Shutter Speed and ISO along with their picture. I found that missing in the Exif info menu.

I noticed how you cannot move around the watermark in full screen mode. It would be nicer if we could do that. Full screen mode lets you place the watermark precisely where you want it to be.
